Wael Shawky | Interview | Talbot Rice Gallery

On the occasion of Talbot Rice Gallery’s 50th anniversary, we are delighted to announce a solo exhibition of Egyptian artist Wael Shawky across our contemporary and neoclassical galleries. By presenting two of Shawky’s large-scale film productions together, the UK premiere of his incisive Drama 1882, numerous glass marionettes and sculptures (many of which have featured in his films), alongside drawings and items selected by Shawky from Islamic and Byzantine collections of the University of Edinburgh, the exhibition will celebrate an extraordinary artist. It will also honour the Byzantine and Islamic Art Historian David Talbot Rice, in whose memory Talbot Rice Gallery was named when it opened in the University of Edinburgh 50 years ago. The exhibition of Wael Shawky hails the dawn of the next 50 years of Talbot Rice Gallery’s future – a university gallery that is part of a global discourse about art and the world we live in, and determined to unearth histories and share stories of the world around us by artists who help us to stretch the human imagination.   Curated by Director, Professor Tessa Giblin. Supported by Edinburgh College of Art, Creative Scotland, Henry Moore Foundation, The Alwaleed Centre at the University of Edinburgh and presented in association with Edinburgh International Festival.
